 Mammoths, the prehistoric elephants
The genus mammoths, in latin Mammuthus, was a group of species, belonging to the family of elephants, entirely separated in taxonomy from the Mastodons and the genus family Mammutidae, although they sometimes shared the same envoronment.
Recently made DNA-tests (Extern reference link) gives the indication that genus Mammuthus is a sister genus to elephas, with a gap to Loxodonta.
Mammoths lived in different areas, some in the northern arctic areas, but not all of them, and they developed over a long period into different forms, so when speaking about Mammoths, it should be clear that this is a group of species, and not only the species wolly Mammoth.

Stanton Harcourt is one of the recommended type locality in the UK for Oxygen Isotope Stage 7 and is of archaeological and geological interest.
The mammoth is not truly identified but is believed to be an adaptation of the cold climate Mammuthus primigenius or Mammuthus trogontherii and is referred to as the "Ilford type mammoth".
All evidence thus indicates that mammoth and elephant occupied this site concurrently and it has been suggested that, during the period represented by the Stanton Harcourt deposits, conditions were such that mammoth and straight-tusked elephant occupied separate, and ecologically different zones.
